Real Madrid and Atletico face off in Cup 17 years later

THE LAST TIME WAS IN 1994 AND WHITES PASSED

Atlético vs Real Madrid (Spanish Cup Final 1992)

Real Madrid and Atletico will again see the faces in the Spanish Cup 17 years after their last meeting. It was in the 93/94 season, in the 5th knockout round, finishing with Real Madrid victory; draw (2-2) in Bernabéu Stadium and beat (2-3) in the Vicente Calderon.

In the quarterfinals, have met five times, with a balance of three classifications for Real Madrid and two for Atletico, which scored in the replay games when there was not the double value away goals rule.

As a curiosity, we note that Atletico have won just once in Cup at the Bernabeu. An indelible memory game. It was the 1992 final which ended 0-2 after goals made by Schuster and Futre.

The balance, however, is far superior to the white set. Team was measured in 35 games for Atletico and has lost only nine times. The remaining meetings are divided into 13 victories and 13 draws. We should not ignore the fact that Atletico has spent more than a decade without winning at Madrid.
